Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Zach Frazier, 31 picks ahead of schedule.

Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Zach Frazier
In the 31st pick they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and slot 44 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Payton Wilson at No. 71. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 20, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 94th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeWayne Carter. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in Round 4, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
No edge and no loss on Michael Pratt in the 138th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They paid sticker price for Ainias Smith in No. 139, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
